Ever since the game’s announcement, many rumors have circulated about a possible Wii version of Modern Warfare 2, much in the same way that Call of Duty: World at War was ported to Wii. Listings on Amazon-esque websites, as well as various comments from gaming outlets regarding the game are just the start of the rumors, it seems, as Australian game store JB Hifi has an entire section dedicated to the pre-orders of Modern Warfare 2 for Wii, including a custom made pre-order box art for the supposed game.

Not only is the box art present, but the store is actually accepting pre-orders for the game itself, further reinforcing the idea that it is indeed coming. In addition, there have been reports of other, smaller gaming outlets taking pre-orders for the game, which serves as a focal point for the Wii-owning hopefuls.

The chances of a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2 coming out are pretty high at this point, and even neglecting the pre-orders, there isn’t much of a reason for Activision not to release one. World at War sold well on Wii, and it is likely that (if they improve their late ad campaign strategy) that Modern Warfare 2 would do the same.

What do you guys think?

According to Media Create sales data, Dragon Quest IX sold 2,318,932 copies in just two days. That figure is much different than the rumored first day sales figure, but it’s still quite impressive. Media Create additionally reported that the game possessed an astounding 81.56% sell through rate. Dragon Quest IX is performing better than its predecessor and takes the crown for the best first week sales on the DS.

The Dragon Quest series is one of the most successful video game franchises in Japan. That fact alone left no doubt that Dragon Quest IX would be a mega hit in Japan. Reports surfaced a few days ago that preorders numbers reached the two million units mark which only added to the belief that the game could be one of the best-selling titles this year.

Dragon Quest IX went on sale Saturday and now there is a number being thrown around regarding first day sales. It should be stressed, however, that this rumor should be taken with a big grain of salt. Fortunately, more reliable figures will become available in the next few days. For those interested though, speculation puts the title at 2,877,000 units sold on day one. Data provided since 1996 shows that Final Fantasy VIII has the highest first week numbers in Japan at 2.5 million, so DQIX would surpass that. Even if the unofficial results are incorrect, you can be rest assured that the game will be a huge seller in the market.

It’s pretty tough to find a word that won’t be recognized in Scribblenauts. Five people provided the developers with assistance in researching words for six straight months. Because of the amount of time spent in that area, the game can transport even a giant enemy crab or Leroy Jenkins into the game. But won’t about words that can’t be viewed in Scribblenauts? Here’s a partial list below.
